I tried the Tin Lizzie, the Innova and the Sweet 16 before I chose my Sweet 16. Make sure that you hand sit down and try them both before you make your decision. I took fat quarter sandwiches and stitched away on them and just loved the Sweet 16.
The Tin Lizzie had a narrower harp space and I think it would have felt harder to fit the quilt in as easily. It did not feel as smooth when I was stitching, kind of grabby and there was a vibration from the machine.
I have the stitch regulator and have played with it and it works very well but I just don't need it. The machine is so easy to use that I got very comfortable with it quickly. I had only fmq'd a çple of times before I got it.
